Hetalia: The Shot Heard 'Round The (Otaku) WorldWhy spend money on expensive plane tickets and hotel fees on your vacation when you have the whole world right here in your own fandom? Anime as we know it has entered it's own Revolutionary War with the fandom that's quickly rising to power -- Axis Powers, that is! Join us for our very own "World Summit" at MikomiCon 2009, in order to celebrate Hetalia's anime adaptation, which entered it's second season this August!

Some of the topics we'll cover at this meeting of the world include:

So what exactly is Hetalia anyway?

Hetalia and World History

Viral Videos - Hetalia Style

Popular Fanon - from crack parings to almost-not-quite-canon!

Hetalia and its Message for World Peace

Panel Information!

Your Hosts:

Zanney as...Matthew"Canada"WilliamsThe brains of this operation. Canada is pretty much your guide to all things Hetalia this weekend, so make sure to pay close attention. (He has a tendency to vanish right before your very eyes!)

Ally as...Alfred F."America"JonesThinks he's the hero, when it's actually something like the opposite. America's heart is in the right place though, which is why his job is to push the pretty buttons on the projector. Yay~

Barb as...Arthur"England"KirklandCostco products share his last name. Which is why we were dumb enough to have the tasteless England be in charge of the food. OH GAWD what have we done!?

Alana as...Francis"France"BonnefoyA shameless flirt. France is pretty much the life of the party, and given enough wine he'll be sweet talking you all the way to home plate -- in FRENCH --- before you even know what just happened. Beware his gyrating hips.

You know I'm coming to the panel~! (and I'm forcing - uh, I mean BRINGING a few friends with me probably)
I'll either be Lust from Full Metal Alchemist or Shouichi from KHR! :3
Wish I could cosplay as someone from Hetalia, but not enough funds or time >_<
I can't wait! <3

Awesome! It'll be great to have you guys there. But please try not to confuse people with non-Hetalia cosplays. You can wear whatever cosplay you want at the panel, but don't post it in here because this thread is to keep track of Hetalia cosplayer first and foremost.

Speaking of keeping track of stuff -- even if you are an audience member and not cosplaying from Hetalia I need to account for each and every one of you guys in which case I need you to post how many people are in your group so I can get an approximated headcount.

This is because the convention staff people need to know what size room to give us for the panel itself. This is VERY important! So please help me out guys.

Alright, I kinda figured that I shouldn't post who I was gonna cosplay, but I'll probably be hard to find, so I wanted to let you know so you didn't think I never came or something D:

Anyway~ Hm...I'll have Cassie (her account is ArtGrrl), probably our friend Savvy (PyroXElric), and a super maybe on another friend (who doesn't have an account).
I might see if sporatic will come (group, 4 people), but I doubt it. I'll ask them anyway :3

Wahh~ I have an update for you~
I'll probably end up being Ukraine, with ArtGrrl being China.
We'll bring with us my friend Alex, who is being Austria. Her little brother will be either Italy or China and her friend is being Hungary. And there's a 50% chance we'll have Switzerland and England too :3 Just wanted to let you know~~
